DECKER TRUCK LINE RECOGNIZES TOP DRIVERS FOR OCTOBER

FORT DODGE, Iowa -- Decker Truck Line, Inc. recently announced their Drivers of the Month for October 2007. Tom Shadle was selected for the honor from Decker’s Flatbed division, and Greg Thede received the award for the Reefer/Van division.

Tom has been an owner-operator at Decker for five years now. Tom has two children, Leigh Anne and Jason, and he enjoys driving his Monte Carlo SS when he is not working. His dispatcher, Jerry Chapman, says Tom is a hard worker. “He is always looking for more to do,” Jerry says. “He will do anything that is asked of him.”

Greg has been with Decker for 16 years, the last 10 years as an owner-operator. Greg and his wife Nancy reside in Badger, Iowa. Greg has three children, Heath, Jeremy and Jessie, as well as one granddaughter, Abryanna. Greg enjoys spending time with his family when he is not hard at work; he also enjoys target shooting and Iowa Hawkeye football.

Each month at Decker, dispatchers nominate drivers and owner-operators based on overall service and performance for that month. Operational productivity, safety records, maintenance/care of equipment (including idle time), payroll and billing, and customer service, are evaluated for each driver nominee to determine who is most deserving of the honor. Each monthly award winner in 2007 is eligible to receive the award for 2007 Driver (or Owner-Operator) of the Year.
